Dragon City is not without resources.

But most of the resources are hidden in the Shattered Star Lake area, the Tombstone Forest, the Angry Wave Mountains, and behind the fog that has just been brought down.

It's a dense forest, full of swamps and traps, and while the big monsters have been slain, there are snakes, insects, rats and ants.

Rao is Dragon City has mastered black technology far beyond the earth, and it will still take several years to develop all these resources, as well as a lot of development and construction resources.

In the past few years, it has been a critical period for Dragon City, and it is also a painful period.

The Survival Committee and the Transcendent Tower had to face a cruel choice—whether to devote their limited resources to the reconstruction and defense of Dragon City, and to ensure the daily lives and cultivation rights of ordinary people; Or invest in the development of the outer periphery of Dragon City, and actively search, rescue, and strike satellite towns that may be lost in the depths of the mist.

The first choice is for the present of Dragon City.

The second choice is for the future of Dragon City.

In his previous life, Meng Chao remembered that the high-level chose "tomorrow".

No matter how scarce the resources in the city were, no matter how bad the living environment of the ordinary people was, and how many contradictions intensified, the survival committee gritted its teeth and accumulated a sum of resources, invested in the cultivation and encouragement of the transcendental, and finally won the monster war.

The price is that the social contradictions are extremely acute, and the ordinary people living in poverty have suspicion and even hostility towards the transcendent who are high above, and this suspicion and hostility are used by foreign beasts to stir up trouble within Dragon City, making the so-called "victory" extremely miserable, and also burying the hidden danger of destroying Dragon City in the future.

Although the dragon city in this world won the offensive on the northern front, in order to develop the surrounding area, and to eliminate the enemy lurking in the depths of the fog in one go, it had to draw a lot of resources to the outside of the city, but ignored the living conditions of tens of millions of citizens - this problem has still not been solved.

Many people have complained about the Survival Committee's approach.

Let's say, on the issue of residence.

Because when the fog fell, many important people were assassinated, and those experts and scholars or company management who were lucky enough to escape were all apprehensive and wanted to immediately move to a high-end community with a tighter defense system and more powerful neighbors.

High-end residential areas are in short supply, and both rents and housing prices have gone crazy.

Needless to say, a top mansion like "Dragon City No. 1".

Even the "Sega Sky City", which has just had a murder, has seen its housing prices rise by 50% in just one month, which is jaw-dropping to the general public.

In all fairness, whether it is an expert or a senior executive, as long as they make money with their own wisdom and ability, it is their freedom to move wherever they want to live.

The Survival Council and the Transcendent Tower are also obliged to ensure the safety of these important people, so that another layer of defense system has been strengthened around each high-end community.

However, in the eyes of ordinary citizens whose homes were destroyed by monsters, who had to live in tents or simple sheds, who endured crowded living conditions, eared walls, stuffy and humid living conditions, and who were always on guard against the spread of the plague, and who would have zombies jumping up and hurting people at any time, these important people who rushed to move to "Sega Sky City" or even "Dragon City One" always felt a little "world different, not my race".

Affected by the war, the prices of spars, genetic medicines, and fortified nutrients also rose three times a day, and soon rose to the point that ordinary families could not afford to crush their teeth.

Children are the greatest hope of ordinary people.

Originally, even if he was just an ordinary person with mediocre qualifications, doing a job that worked day and night but paid a meager salary, as long as he ate bran vegetables, he could save a little money and ensure the most basic cultivation expenses for his children.

Then, the family still has hope, the parents are more energetic in their work, and the children have goals, at least they will not go down the wrong path.

But after realizing that the Monster Wars won't end so easily, and even enter a new phase that is even more treacherous.

All the transcendents in the city were cultivating desperately.

To this end, they frantically purchased resources, exchanging cash and transcendent coins for spars, genetic potions, fortified nutrients, various monster raw materials and heavenly treasures.

Many transcendents can't digest and absorb so many resources at all.

But it doesn't matter, the shelf life of genetic potions and fortified nutrients is very long, and the spar is equivalent to the hard currency of gold and silver, even if you can't cultivate yourself, you can make a lot of money by hoarding Juqi.

Many transcendent beings have overpurchased cultivation resources, driving the price of cultivation resources to continue to rise, even to the point that there is no market for them.

In this way, it will be difficult for the children of ordinary people.

This is a world dominated by the transcendent.

If the child has not even the slightest hope of becoming transcendent.

It is difficult for ordinary citizens to find the motivation for themselves and their children to continue to live in this zombie-infested, monster-infested, and mysterious otherworld.

Not to seek death and life.

But the eyes of ordinary citizens looking at the transcendents are always getting more and more strange.

Remnant Star Transcendents and Middle- and Low-level Transcendents are okay, everyone usually has more contact, and many Remnant Star Transcendents have also encountered problems such as not being able to afford cultivation resources, not being able to live in luxury apartments, etc., and they have the same disease as ordinary citizens.

Besides, when you really encounter monsters, the middle and low-level transcendents are fighting under the noses of ordinary people, and their efforts and sacrifices are still seen by the kind citizens.

However, for the high-level transcendents who are high up and elusive, it is difficult for ordinary residents to understand their research projects, nor can they understand their mystical and complex cultivation content, and only see them and their families living a glamorous and glamorous life, and the nine super enterprises they control have also taken advantage of the large-scale development on the periphery of Dragon City, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger.

If at this time, Lin Chuan is resurrected and spreads his argument of "sword halberd demon pig and diamond nine-headed dragon" among ordinary citizens, there will definitely be a big market.

Even Meng Chao encountered this problem.

In the last fog fall, Tianfuyuan, as an old community, was also severely impacted, and the defense system was stabbed by the fangs of the monsters.

Although the monster only destroyed a few buildings on the periphery, it did not advance to the unit where Meng Chao's house was.

But seeing that the neighbors living in the outermost buildings of the community had all lost their homes and had to temporarily set up tents and simple sheds in the community, Meng Chao secretly couldn't bear it, and he was even more apprehensive.

Monsters are evolving smarter and smarter.

Next time, it may not be so lucky.

If it was just him, he would be willing to stay and fight side by side with the neighbors of Tianfuyuan.

But there are still parents at home, and a sister who is gradually awakening to the mysterious power and will turn into a night witch at any time.

Meng Chao had to think about moving out of Tianfuyuan and finding a mid-to-high-end community with a relatively complete defense system.

But my sister said a year ago that Tianfuyuan is their home, if all the strong people move out of Tianfuyuan, and only the old, weak, sick and disabled are left here, wouldn't it be easier to be attacked by monsters?

In order to defend his homeland, Bai Jiacao would rather die than retreat.

And moving out of Tianfuyuan at this time, there is always a feeling of abandoning the neighbors for decades, not to mention whether it will cause his sister to be black again, Meng Chao himself is not a taste.

Meng Chao struggled with this question for a month.

In just this month, house prices in the mid-to-high-end residential area of Dragon City rose by 50%.

Meng Chao was dumbfounded, scratching his head and thinking, why didn't he encounter this problem in his previous life?

Oh, in his previous life, he was still worried about his parents' medical expenses in the hospital at this time, not to mention a 50% increase, even if the price of the middle and high-end community fell by 50%, it had nothing to do with him.

Meng Chao's mind was spinning.

With the wisdom of the reborn, coupled with the analysis of big data, supplemented by sober thinking, the conclusion was drawn.

The current wave of rise is just the aftermath of the fog, and it is just the panic buying of houses by some wealthy people who are not strong-willed.

As long as the situation stabilizes, house prices will definitely fall with a vengeance, and when that happens, it's not too late to start again.

In the second month of this decision, house prices rose another 50%, a feat of doubling in two months.

“……”

Meng Chao decided to shoulder the responsibility of the transcendental, the blood of the strong should be shed for the weak, he wanted to stay and live and die with Tianfuyuan!

The situation is chaotic, people's minds are changing, various currents of thought have appeared one after another, and many powerful people and organizations are thinking about the truth of saving the world, they are deducing the future of Dragon City, and they have come to diametrically opposite conclusions one after another.

On the campus of Agricultural University, Meng Chao also keenly noticed that the mentality of the students gradually became impetuous.

Fewer people are concentrating on class, and more and more posts are being made in campus forums and open debates.

"Practicing martial arts can't save Dragon City", "Beasts can't save Dragon City", "Rune machinery can't save Dragon City", such arguments have gradually become popular, as if as a contemporary youth, if you don't put on a look of worrying about the country and the people, you will seem insensitive.

Meng Chao's classmate, Xie Feng, is an avid fan of such debates.

Meng Chao also followed him and went to watch several classmates' discussions.

The topic of discussion ranged from "whether the tax rate of the transcendent should be raised, and the implementation of excess progression, and the tax rate should be increased by one level for every level of transcendental advancement, and more taxes should be used for the welfare of ordinary citizens, so as to narrow the class gap in Dragon City as much as possible".

To "whether there is unfair competition between the transcendent who occupy the advantage of wisdom and physical strength, and ordinary people, and whether the proportion of extraordinary and ordinary people should be delineated in the vast majority of grassroots jobs, and a certain number of ordinary people must be recruited".

There is also "whether the existence of the nine super enterprises is good or bad for the future development of Dragon City, and whether the nine super enterprises should be restricted or even split, so that more power can be concentrated in the hands of the survival committee".

Even "Where is the limit of human beings, is the transcendent of the Divine Realm still considered human, and how can we ensure that the powerhouses of the Divine Realm can always treat ordinary people as their own kind and work for the benefit of ordinary people?" ”

The arguments of the classmates are naturally not clever, and it is difficult to even be reasonable, and many times they are very naïve, just emotional venting.

There are also many students from the nine super enterprises, and they said that for the future of Dragon City, the development of super enterprises should be restricted, and all glory and power should belong to the Survival Committee and the Transcendent Tower!

Their statements were met with warm applause.

It also made Meng Chao realize that after half a century, as the monster war enters a new stage, and the monsters evolve one after another, the most radical change will also come like a storm in Dragon City.
